Nothing stops us in our tracks on our way to the cash register than a glossy flaunting some stylish denim on the cover. While we admit we get our magazine cover fix more from blogs than the real-deal these days, we can’t help but duck into amazing global magazine shops like the Grand Central Station magazine hub or Around The World when we get the chance. Below are some of our absolute favorites for late spring and summer, from the bikini-denim-jacket combo of this Marie Claire Italia to the amazing strapless denim dress on the cover of Elle France. Check out the full gallery below!

As the pre-frost October air gets a bit more audacious, late-fall fashion with layers and texture becomes the uniform for urban dwellers. We may have to drop our humid-weather dressing habits, but denim sticks around all twelve months of the year. Those of who can’t part with our summer cut-offs stretch a pair of wool tights over their legs. Flawless skinny jean fits are paired with dramatic fur coats. Sharp, tailored military jackets turn average Joe’s into blue-jean heroes… You get the idea. Below are some of our favorite cold weather denim trends.
